Chapter 109: House Tree

"There are several species of trees in the forest that are very special. Pennis www.biquge.info explained: "I don't know how many there are, I don't know all of them, but I do know that at least the Arin tree, which they call the house tree, is one of them." ”

"So this is the Arin tree, I've heard Tifa talk about it. Lina suddenly realized: "She used to often mention the Yalin tree, and every time she mentioned it, she looked nostalgic, it turns out that you all use this tree as your home." ”

"I don't look nostalgic. After a few seconds, Lina's expression changed abruptly, she clasped her hands on her chest and made a disdainful sneer, raised her eyebrows and said: "Who would miss this hypocritical place, the world is already full of darkness, but a group of hypocritical people want to pretend to see all the light, obviously there is just a simple killing and conspiracy between races, but they want to show integrity and sincerity, hypocrisy is the essence here, I finally died, I can escape from this hypocritical world, who will miss it again." ”

"Ahem, Lord Tifa. Vral knew who the soul in front of him was, and seemed to know exactly what to do with her, so he didn't argue with her, but said with a smile: "Your deeds, your grievances, have spread throughout the elven world many generations ago, and everyone knows very well that you have done to the forest and the tribe, and they are very grateful to you." Of course, there is no point in saying this now, and you are right, this place is indeed hypocritical and false, so in order to despise this place better, you should not look here more often, so that you can find more places to despise. ”

"Hmph, you have a point. Tifa raised his head and thought for a while, then snorted coldly and said: "I should indeed come here often to take a look, to see what fatal shortcomings the kingdom you are now composed of elves, hum, of course, whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with me, but as long as I find a fatal certainty, I can happily imagine that you will perish because of this in the future, hahahaha, this is really worth looking forward to, hum, so decided." ”

Tifa's haughty laughter faded away, and Lina clearly returned to her original identity. It wasn't until Tifa left that Vral turned to Pannis and shrugged her shoulders and said lightly, "Actually, she's not that difficult to communicate, is she? ”

"To you, is the house tree a home and a companion?" said Catherine thoughtfully, "so even if you change your place of residence, do you have to take your own house with you?" but I still don't quite understand how this Arin tree, oh no, house tree, can move on its own?"

"Plants in general have a fixed network of roots, and the roots cling to the soil to keep the tree stable. "But house trees are different, their roots are free to stretch and retract except for the twelve extraordinarily thick taproots, so that when there is a decrease in nutrients in a certain part of the soil, they will stretch their roots longer and take in more nutrients, and if there is something harmful in the soil, they will shorten certain parts of the root system to avoid those harmful areas, and sometimes they will pull the taproot directly out of the soil and move it to another location to re-root." We took advantage of this characteristic of them, and after asking them to agree to move, we instructed them to first use the taproot to support their bodies outside the land, and then continue to pull up their taproots in turn and then change the position of reinserting them into the soil, so as to achieve the purpose of transferring. Can you understand such a simple explanation?"

"I guess I understand that their roots resemble the tentacles of an octopus, and they move on the ground with these roots. Catherine nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't that slow, though?" and what if there are obstacles along the way?"

"It's not slow, it's actually very long, in fact their taproot is very long, much longer than their body on the ground, and it's very powerful enough to support their massive body. Therefore, when they use the taproot to support the main body, they can move a distance of hundreds of meters every time they move, and they can move one or two kilometers a day. Think about it, it is only more than a thousand kilometers from the edge of the forest to the royal court, and they do not know tiredness, they can continue to move, it only takes three years at most to complete, and they can also use this time on the road to renovate the houses inside. As for obstacles in the road, that's common, but the roots of plants are stronger than any living thing, and nothing can stop them. Vral patted the inner wall of the treehouse and said proudly: "This plant is the best gift from the Mother Goddess, it has accompanied us for almost the entire history of our people, as long as they have them, the elves can no longer pay attention to the bad weather and environment in the forest." ”0

"Very convenient plant indeed. Catherine also exclaimed, "But if they pull out the roots, will it lead to a lack of provisions, and eventually the whole tree will wither?"

"The house trees are our companions, will you hurt your own partners?" asked Vral rhetorically, "just like you, we will not hurt our own partners, so they are absolutely safe along the way." ”

"In that case, if you hide in a house tree, it's like having a moving fortress. Catherine nodded: "And the power of the root is so great, ordinary demonic beasts can't fight it." ”

"No, their roots are not so flexible, and the demonic beasts will not stand stupidly, no matter how strong they are, it is pointless if they can't hit the enemy. Panis shattered Catherine's imagination: "So basically no one would use a house tree as a weapon." ”

"Well, none of us would do that. Vral nodded, "Because we have the War Tree." ”

It is said that as early as the War of the Gods in the Third Age, the elves used it many times in the war with the orcs, and the powerful power made the orcs harvest many defeats. However, in the last few thousand years, even during the 214-day war, the elves have never used this weapon again, so the ancient tree of war has become an ancient legend, and no outsiders have ever seen it again.

Vral blinked mysteriously and whispered, "With the existence of the War Ancient Tree, why should we let our partners take risks?"

"How long are you going to live up there?" a seductive voice came from under the tree, "Do you want me to help you make a rain and water your trees by the way?" )
